Dunblane Cathedral

Dunblane Cathedral dates mainly from the 13th century although David I established the bishopric in 1150.  All that remains of the 12th Century church is the Romanesque tower, which although differently aligned, has been built into the south wall of the later nave.  This tower is six storeys high, of which only the lower four are original.

The Cathedral was superbly restored in the 19th century and has some very fine carved woodwork and stained glass windows.

The Cathedral is open to the public throughout the year.  As the parish church of Dunblane, it is in regular use.  The magnificent Flentrop organ was inaugurated in 1990 and can be heard each Sunday and at the series of concerts and musical events that occur throughout the year.
